	"The Joy of Sex" - Salon.com
		And "The Joy of Sex," just reissued in an edition said to be "Fully Revised & Completely Updated for the 21st Century" (of which more later), fairly reeks of cheeriness.
		When "The Joy of Sex" first came out in the early '70s, I was too young for it to be more than something I'd peek at surreptitiously in bookstores or upon chancing to find it in someone's house (and I found it in houses I wouldn't have expected to).
		It's easy to be superior or dismissive when evaluating sex manuals, easy to decide a book isn't hip enough or daring enough and forget that plenty of people need information on the basics before they get advice about setting up a threesome or using a dildo on their partner.

	The Connection.org : The Joy of Sex
		"The Joy of Sex" was perhaps the most peeked at, giggled at, and studied by bedroom candlelight masterpiece of the seventies.
		Published in 1972 "the Joy of Sex" was a quiet sensation, an accepted piece of coffee table scandal in some circles and a liberation manifesto in others.
		The simple white softcover sex manual and its hirsute heroes were born of one couple's erotic exploration, and the simple idea that bedroom fun could spread from the fringes of society to every suburban bedroom.

	Sex study tells who
		It's the mature, married couples of America who are getting the greatest joy of sex -- in the bedroom, or wherever the romantic fires are ignited.
		With the accepted tenet that a poor sex life translates into an impaired quality of life, "this problem warrants recognition as a significant public health concern," the authors wrote.
		Where sex tends to go awry with age is with regard to the ability to get or maintain an erection for men, and to achieve adequate lubrication for women.

	Joy of sex education
		Were we to accept the conservatives' version, we would expect the nations in which sex education and access to contraception are most widespread to be those that suffer most from teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.
		Abstinence campaigns such as the Silver Ring Thing do delay sexual activity, but when their victims are sucked into the cesspool (nearly all eventually are), they are, according to a study at Columbia University, around one-third less likely to use contraceptives, as they are not "prepared for an experience that they have promised to forgo".
		He also forced them to drop their project identifying the sex education programmes that work, after they found that none of the successful ones were "abstinence only".

	Son gently updates classic 'Joy of Sex' Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In all the noise about sex in our world, "The Joy of Sex," revised, has sneaked back onto the shelf, sort of chaste and soft and quiet for all its explicitness, 30 years after the original and nearly three years since the death of its author, British gerontologist and poet Alex Comfort.
		To encounter "The Joy of Sex," you had to be doing something wrong -- snooping in the master bedroom while baby-sitting for the people down the street, for example.
		Since its rerelease last fall, "The Joy of Sex" has demurely taken its place on self-help shelves laden with its Children of Eden: racier guides to G-spots, how-to's for unending tantric orgasms, solicitous bondage advice for beginners, even coffee table picture books of fetishes.

	Alex Comfort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Joy of Sex was a manual to produce sexual pleasure after decades of civil rights and women’s liberation that followed WWII.
		The Joy of Sex addressed both members of the heterosexual unit, meant to satisfy both sides of the equation.
		He liked whimsy — a passage in the original Joy of Sex advises stimulating a woman at a restaurant table with the big toe while all four hands are on the table, a practice that will “keep her in almost continuous orgasm.” Comfort wanted sex to be mutual, satisfying, frequent, and a little dirty.

		But Pelling is the editor (she prefers "editrice") of Erotic Review, a London-based monthly journal where porn meets literature and sex is celebrated in all its forms, from lesbians to Lotharios.
		Pelling didn't expect a flood of new subscriptions from Mountjoy's efforts, but she was keen to broaden the Review's appeal from outside the rather bookish, high-art, private-rooms feel of traditional erotica.
		"Sex is one of the most interesting topics in the world," she says.

		He used to claim he was inspired by a patient who told him (in 1960) that she was appalled to be pregnant, because soon her neighbours would know that she and her husband had been getting up to dirty, sordid acts of darkness.
		The Joy of Sex set out to demystify lovemaking, but also to allow it to be regarded as something else: a recreation.
		The lovers wrote up the taxonomy of sex at blinding speed (some say the first draft of The Joy of Sex was done in two weeks), but were stuck for ways to illustrate it.

	Hysterectomy can kill your joy of sex
		Any woman will tell you that intercourse wouldn’t be pleasurable, if at all possible, if she had to keep her legs closer together, and women living with the condition of a shortened vagina will tell you that attempting the “on top” position would be excruciatingly painful.
		But scar tissue does not, and if you're left with too much of it at the top of the vagina, sex won't ever be the same.
		You’ll always remember what it was like to look at your partner with desire, but once the ovaries are gone, it’s hard for most hysterectomized women to will their bodies to desire sex.

	The Joy of Sex St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		Although it was welcomed in many progressive circles, The Joy of Sex was roundly criticized for its gender and cultural bias that singularly described female organs with vulgar language; that relied on expressions like "exotic" and "oriental" to describe some unfamiliar techniques; and that dismissed same-sex relations as trivial and unfulfilling.
		It was Comfort's original intention to illustrate The Joy of Sex with actual photographs of couples, but the photos never "caught the proper zest," as he later told Hugh Kenner.
		In his introduction, Comfort wrote that "one aim of this book is to cure the notion, born of non-discussion, that common sex needs are odd or weird." He added, "There are, after all, only two 'rules' in good sex, apart from the obvious one of not doing things which are silly, antisocial, or dangerous.
